AP on China's Animation Push in Japan

The Associated Press has taken a look at the rise of Chinese animation in the Japanese market as a result of the Japanese anime industry slump and a major push in creative efforts in China. The article notes that Chinese animation companies tripled their presence at the Tokyo International Anime Fair while the overall number of exhibitors declined, and also points out how Japan’s outsourcing of animation to China resulted in a well-trained workforce of animators who are beginning to create their own material.
